Fischer: Christ Is In The Constitution Because It’s Dated “The Year Of Our Lord, 1787”
Bryan Fischer Friday on his radio program said that Jesus Christ is in America’s Constitution because it’s dated “the year of our Lord, 1787.” Fischer, the public face of the certified anti-gay hate group, American Family Association, also stated America’s Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are covenants with God.

When we look at these books of history of the Old Testament, one of the things we need to recognize is God has preserved these for us because he wants us to understand how God deals with nations, nations that have entered into some kind of a covenantal relationship with Him and we have done that. We have done that in the United States of America. Our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution represents a covenantal relationship with God.
In the Declaration of Independence we told God, look we are building the entire foundation of this political experiment on you … So our whole approach to government, our whole approach to our political life, our shared common life is rooted and grounded in the Bible. We have made a covenant relationship with God.
We even dated both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, we dated them to the year of the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, when the Founders, when they dated the Constitution ‘the year of our Lord, 1787,’ they referred to Jesus as ‘our Lord.” Don’t let people tell you that Christ is not in the Constitution; He’s in there.
